Oh wow, that is awesome!! Haha, I actually have all of Noir in greedy fansubbed form, but I haven't had the chance to watch it.. maybe I'll just pick it up on DVD instead. *___* *DVD freak*

*_* Waaaahh! Noir!! hmmm yes...I only watched it...from my friend's pirated copy from Taiwan T_T and ...DAYAMN! The subtitles sucked! Constant spelling errors, grammatical errors...sometimes so confusing I couldn't understand...So therefore, I must buy myself the DVD @_@ But...the wait is so long! .... I want to watch it all over again for the music :p , and well...I guess because it was hard to understand when the subtitles don't make sense @_@ And I don't think I'm educated enough in Chinese to have read the subtitles in Chinese (which were more accurately translated, my friend told me).

Yay! I'm so happy that it'll be out on DVD... I'd love to buy it to support the series, then I can dump my fansubs *not that she doesn't apprieciate fansubs, they're great but there's something really cool about dvds* ^^;;; Kirika rocks!

^^ YAY! I want to see the end of the series, so I'm a little closer..I've seen the first half, and the subtitles were done in China so it was very amusing..

I've got a set of DVD's that are in pretty packages but the subtitles are absolutely horrible for spelling and grammar. I look forward to the new subtitles...hopefully ;)

Well, for all of those that'll be at Katsucon, ADV will be there in the dealers Room as well. So you know what that means? You'll be able to get Noir before anyone else, and for a discount too. ^_^

I wonder what ADV will make of a Chloe crossplaying, rabid Noir fan asking if I can get an early copy of the box ^^v

Good call Studmaster!! Already got my room for Katsucon, so I'm set!

Wow, the t-shirt looks awesome.

I modified a watch for my Mireille cosplay, it got lots of compliments. Too bad I didn't get a pic before I dropped & broke it.

OH! My friend told me that there are about 500 of those pocketwatches...but it doesn't play the music, which would've been nice, and therefore more expensive @_@. She still really wants it though. I love the music.... *eyes...glaze over*

500??? Well, maybe I can buy it off someone on eBay... if they're willing to sell it... But they're so rare. People will bid like crazy; Noir pocketwatches are rarer than Utena duelist rings. -_-

Expect to pay 150 at least.
